R31Nismoid "Brakes, suspension, clutch, diff - I could go on but you get the idea"

Thanks again Im doing the clutch/ light weight flywheel with the 100k service. I have coilovers. Brakes isnt a bad idea but.

STATUS "should not be an issue, yes the r34 nistune has less tuneable addresses than other nistune ecus it wont have an issue (most are cold enrich issues on e85 on really big horsepower setups) , i do however recommend running the std bov to help alleviate the stalling... it is an issue with some setups on r34 ecus. We have made mid 400's on r34 nistunes so they are capable, you may just need to make a few compromises.

Thanks Im running std bov into a metal intake standard airbox z32

I hate to brake it to you guys.

It is an issue.

Mainly with Auto cars. You jump on the brakes, bring it up to stall and let go of the throttle..... and basinga it stalls. 7/10 times.

This is plumb back bovs and everything set up correctly.

These are engines with cams and intakes make it worse.

This is on R34 computers. Almost ever other ecu you can change it

Yes I know. Type A have a smaller duration so they are going to be better for maintaining a factory/near factory idle.

Tomei haven't always done Type A and Type B in a Poncam so I'm sorry I confused you. I confused myself for a minute haha.

Type B aren't necessarily going to mess with idle much either but the fact is, you are better off with the 252 deg cam anyway. It better matches the 3071 for its efficiency range.

Hey Dan I'll record my idle for you.... It sounds factory in every way.... Type B poncams.... Not even a slight lump at 900-950rpm idle :)

Yep, I believe you (although shouldn't it idle at 750-800rpm?)

Most of the problem with these cars with Nistune is when they have aftermarket large cams and plenum.

The point is, no one is saying it can't idle smoothly and not have problems, just that there is a risk involved. If it were auto, had type b cams and Nistune, it would be shit

Yeah the idle was set specifically to sound smooth.... Simply cus I asked for stealth :) I LOVE lumpy idles but don't need to give the boys in blue any excuse to lift the bonnet and annoy me

me too, was given the choice.. but when its lumpy the engine sounds like it is half way between smooth and stalling, i think its done by leaning it a bit which i wasnt a fan of.

I have the feeling that the cams might possibly even make the turbo a bit laggy on a mildly modifed 3071/76?

They have had the type A's for ages as far as I know (neo RB25 engines). I tossed up between Type A's and B's around 7 years ago but was talked into type B's as I was assured there would be no losses down low just a fatter mid range. In hindsight, assuming I was going to install cams, I would choose the type A's to get the extra lift without the extra duration.

As I stated before the type B's have the slightest lump at idle but it is very slight and hardly worth mentioning.

For the OP, Dan has forgotten more than I will ever know so listen to what he is saying.

Yeh my Type-B's give me a slightly lumpy idle. Its actually more taking off in first that I can hear the difference, they have a deeper tone compared to factory cams.

Probably a bit off topic, I just wanted to chime in :D

bam.. on the money, with longer duration cams, you will need to run them a tad richer than stoich to get it to idle without wanting to stall. Or just bump up the revs, but then you look like a tool at the lights lol

The problem isn't that they don't idle. The problem is random stalling after accelleration/revving

Anyway, I've said what I needed to. I'm not the one who tunes this shit. I just see it causing problems. You can fit whatever you like but we are just trying to keep you informed of the 'possible' risks in doing so with certain setups

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
